"the two towers is one of the best games ever made"

him saying hes gonna beat the first level then me checking the timestamp for the first level sent me into a fit

My favorite part of Fellowship of the Ring was definitely the part were Frodo gets violently mauled to death by a pack of wolves, I can't tell you how disappointed I was when Peter Jackson left it out of the movies kinda ruins the whole franchise in my opinion

These LOTR streams were so much better than when he streamed those movies asleep and naked in his chair. Still not 100% on how he didn’t get banned for that.

*"YOU'RE quest has failed"* text made me laugh way more than i should have

unironically the flute in this game hits hard

Book and Movie Frodo: Weighed down by the ring over the course of his quest, was continually alienated from his friends by his burden, eventually leaves for the West to recover from PTSD Game Frodo: Fucked to death by a tree

"For the love of all that is Holy, Jerma, you finished the first level of the game. I am literally paying you twenty-five times the wager of that bet, for you to go play with Joel instead of dragging this out." ALWAYS funny.

the best part is that all these stupid fucking sidequests are completely optional. He just had to take the deed to miss sackville-baggins and go home and then he'd start the next part automatically.

jerma finding out he was born on Hobbit Day was a wild thing to listen to

The game over text says: "You're quest has failed" Are you serious?

"It's based on the books, so things are a little different." *cut to Frodo fighting off three wolves with a stick*

Snubbed for "Best 'one guy' moment"

My dad beat this game for me when I was a kid. I still remember him juking uruks as Frodo while climbing the hill at Amon Hen and being absolutely amazed that someone could actually be good at this game.

This video made me remember playing this game when I was 2 or 3. It brought back the hopeless, crushing depression that smashed my joy like the tree smashed jerma. I can still remember the taste of my excitement turned into the bitter realization that this game was unplayable and was the only game I would have for months. Every day i would try to leave the shire. Every day i would fail, the invisible walls suffocating my soul. Since then, I've always had the lowest expectations of life. Thank you for bringing me this deeply repressed trauma from the core of my being. It's nice to know where my childhood went wrong exactly.

Gotta say, jerma would like LEGO lord of the rings

That 'friends play MMO' rant is one of the best most true rants he's ever had.

What a stream, a hobbit playing a game about a hobbit's endeavours

I actually used to play this back when I was younger, even beat it in its entirety. I wouldn't call it fun as a game, but as an experience it was hilarious. There's a level where you have to escort Frodo as Aragorn, and while there's no friendly fire you can fill Frodo's head FULL of arrows. Literally spent hours doing that, I was an easily entertained child.

45:27 I love how Jerma's instant reaction to getting a teammate is to wack him in the head instantly

really makin my life better as i am in the opposite time zone can never catch a stream so i look for long edits like this ty man

The entire MMO subject at 57:40 is so god damn relatable that it makes me sad. It really made me feel validated. Thanks, Jeremiah985.

seems like the beginning takes the part from the book where it took 17 years for frodo to leave the shire and they ran with it lol.

I audibly gasped when I skipped passed the intro and saw that the first level took up over HALF the video

One Guy to rule them all, One Guy to find them, One Guy to bring them all, and in the darkness bind them.

I had the same experience as a child that Jerma did on stream about this game not being related to the movies. Two towers was a good game, and then my parents got this one.

"I couldn't read the books." -jerma

OMFG that version of fellowship of the ring was my favourite! The memories playing that man... so much nostalgia!

yup bring more ppl here solid edits fam

35:30 literally what i did multiple times as a child because i didnt know you could save the game :/

22:10 There would be an absolute uproar, some fans would actually lose their minds. It would probably be studied.

The entire time he was talking about trying to get your friends to play an MMO, that was literally me trying to get a friend of mine into Runescape, we'd complete like 1 quest and the next time we'd play would be like a week later

"Life isnt fair" - Jerma after finding out he is in fact a Hobbit

Holy shit I was just watching the jerma Scribblenaughts stream where he talks about electrocuting yourself underwater, he says he's talked about this before and chat brings up Sekiro and Hitman. He's had this conversation on stream 4 FUCKING TIMES.

8:20 Now I know what a time traveler feels like...

The palpable relief when Tom Vivaldi finally shows up

"Peter Jackson based his film on THIS game" hahahahahahaha

This game actually isn't based on the movie, at the time it was made ea had the rights to the movie while another company had the rights to the books

I got to the mines of moria on the pc version of this game and had a game breaking bug that locked me out of my save truly devastating as a child

40:08 Half- Life Crowbar 'Go' Edition

If I remember correctly, this game got 6.0-8.0 in EGM. Standards were pretty low in the early PS2 days.

Samwise is voiced by Robin from Teen Titans

Love you jerma

I can't believe J.R.R. Tolkien based hobbit day on Jerma's birthday, how nice of Tolkien to do that :thisIsWereAKappaWouldShowUpIfTwitchEmotesSomehowWorkedOnKZfaqWowThisIsGettingReallyLongWhyDidntIJustTypeKappaInsteadOfAllThisOhGodFuckOhGodPleaseHelpKappa:

Ohh man I remember getting this game so excited followed by soul crushing depression with just how jank a game it was. I played the game on and off for a couple years just giving it a go. I can't remember when I finally left the shire but I do remember feeling hollow and empty. The rest of the game was just as much. This game, Tarzan Untamed, Sonic Adventure 2 Battle, Dark Cloud and Jak & Daxter trained me to persevere. Cannot believe I beat them as a little kid

I love how they got Tom Kane to replace Ian McKellen in this game, like they did in a few of the Animated X-men series for Magneto

All their money for this game went towards the flute

20:16 "Whudder Wheal?" has become a phrase in our house to imply someone is faking incompetence

A lot of recognizable famous voice actors right in the beginning

46:33 another unintentional self-fulfilling prophecy

Jerma is a true fan he knows Tom Dombadee

I think this video unearthed some repressed memories cause my cousin had this game when we were really young and i remember we couldn't for the life of us figure out how to get out of the first village and it was so BORING we never played it ever again

This game used to terrify me as a kid lmao

WHY IS THAT MMO RANT SO ACCURATE? My brother does that shit all the time. We play together in like.. Dark Souls or something and I have to make an alternate character because if I don't I'll be way overleveled or in some other random area across the game world by the time he's ready to play again.

"I know you have ADHD but you did it ten times, just pay attention once" ADHD doesn't work like that, dear twitch comment

So this whole thing that led up to the epic melt down started as a "one guy said" thing? THat's very jerma

bruh the mmo thing too real

Giant enemy tree 48:10

"You're quest has failed."

YOOOO I REMEMBER THIS FROM WHEN I WAS A KID WTF IT WAS SO HARD

He saying HUMAN history and HUMAN cinema in specific because he's comparing it to that of his home planet

9:36 literarry work as source 11:00 peteer jackson based the film on this game

damn, this was one of my first games on ps2

That would be me sir

I played this on the "family" computer back before I had my own. Probably ran at like 10 fps, I remember making it to moria at least. it was definitely a walmart special

GANDALF USE THIS

The celebrated human franchise

You missed that ladder! Try another!

Take mushrooms and watch these cutscenes, you won’t regret it

it must have been so infuriating to watch this stream

54:07 Tom Babaldi button

i related to the last bit so bad, i got back into WoW and i’m playing shadow priest and my friend is a ret pali n bro dies every time 😢 and dude leaves after like 4 quest

I played this as a kid and quit at bree. I have absolutley no recollection of the tree 😂 shit must have been burned from my memory Edit: Holy shit I vividly remember Tom Bombadil though. Wtf happened to me?

19:46 ... Actually true.

1. Why are they using the Gregorian calendar in Middle-earth? 2. What's with all the underscores in the subtitles_?

Was this made by the same devs who made two towers and return of the king? This game is completely different from those.

... Jennifer Hale playing Galadrial???

“Why is it not okay to stream a show but its okay to stream it’s video game” is as stupid as saying “Why is it not okay to stream a show but its okay to stream while wearing a shirt that has that show on it”.

12:43

40:20

Who fuckin told him?

We all know Jeremy can't read.

20:30 pretending for views

he's pretending for views!

This game genuinely looks terrible lmao. Even back in 2001 or whatever they could do better than a horse rotating in place on an axis. They could make semi-accurate hitboxes.

I have no idea how I beat this game as a kid.
